Subject: [PATCH 5.10 471/575] NFS: Fix dentry verifier races

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@...merspace.com>

[ Upstream commit cec08f452a687fce9dfdf47946d00a1d12a8bec5 ]

If the directory changed while we were revalidating the dentry, then
don't update the dentry verifier. There is no value in setting the
verifier to an older value, and we could end up overwriting a more up to
date verifier from a parallel revalidation.
